I am trying to install VLC from source so as to utilize the raspberry pi's hardware (question is software only, hence why I am asking here) as per these instructions. I have managed to install it, however, I can't see any video, only hear audio. There are two ways I can launch a video, if I launch it without hardware usage, via vlc filename, I get the below error, I see no window launched, but I hear audio. If I launch it with hardware usage, via vlc --vout omxil_vout filename, I still get the same error, but I do see a window launched, it displays the movie name, and I hear the audio, however, the window is completely black.
Error (when run as verbose. Also, note that the X11 error has to do with the fact that I am running over putty right now, but I get the same error otherwise):

I know the problem has something to do with these two lines:
[0xb3c180] main video output error: video output creation failed
[0xb5f347b0] main decoder error: failed to create video output
but they don't give me enough information to begin troubleshooting. Could someone please help me diagnose this problem.
